According to Ivan Guerrero, chief creative officer of comic book store Filbar's, they approached Boom! Studios after Matay, a Filipina slayer, was featured in a cover for Buffy the Vampire Slayer #5. As requested, the Filbar's exclusive cover is split into three sections in reference to the Philippine flag: "During this period, people could be arrested for being in possession of the flag. We wanted to hint at this historical period somehow, so elements and colors of the flag are hinted at on the cover that Kajo [Baldisimo] designed, without showing the actual flag."[2]
